Three Poems

Michael Donaghy at The Taibhdhearc, April 1997

 
He stepped                                                                         from the wings

    in a pilot’s jacket                                                     and was

             in full flight when                                  the power went.

                    I can still hear                              the double take

                                we did                          as he kept going

                             in the dark,                     and it dawned

                                   that the                 last thing

                                      he needed     to go on

                                                 was light.
